debian fluxbox menu
 

Hi,

Every time I edit the fluxbox menu file Debian resets it.
Is there a way to stop Debian from doing this?

thanks

If you don't want Debian to autoupdate your menus, you could try uninstalling the 'menu' package.

I uninistalled the 'menu' package with synaptic and modified the ~/.fluxbox/menu file, but nothing changes.

Are you editing the menu from within Fluxbox? I'm having a feeling that if you do and then exit Fluxbox, the menu file will be overwritten. You could try to make the changes outside Fluxbox. Fluxbox documentation at http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docbo...cs.html#AEN659 would tell also you more on how to make the changes permanent.

If that doesn't help, then I suppose you could just make the file read-only after you've made the changes.

HTH

kwong, make your own menu, for the sake of this post put it in ~/.fluxbox/(insertfilenamehere). Then exit fluxbox, use the command prompt (or another wm if you want to) to edit ~/.fluxbox/init and change the path to ~/.fluxbox/(insertfilenamehere). When you boot back into fluxbox your menu should be used.

Also do me a favour and post the whereabouts of the Debian one (I lost it).

:D

Thanks guys, it finally works.
I forgot to change the ~/.fluxbox/init file

And sorry ploktim, I don't know where you can get Debian one.
